Description:
Written by an international all-female group of academics and activists, this book argues that xenophobia, racism, patriarchy and nationalism, and their convergences with conservatism and neoliberalism, can be fought with transnational feminist politics and emancipatory educational praxis. Showcasing new research from Australia, Brazil, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland and Sweden, and the USA, the chapter authors argue for a new feminist politics centered on education and social justice. The chapters cover a broad range of international contexts, including the immigration crisis in the USA, the movement of rural women workers in Brazil, the role of education in women’s empowerment after the Greek financial crisis, and #MeToo and masculinity in a group of teacher-students in Sweden. In each of these contexts, and within the current political climate characterized by neoliberal policies and conservatism, it is clear that white men are benefiting, while women, people of color and minority groups are paying the price. This book offers new ways of combating this oppression and helps us to better understand the current political and social landscape.The book includes a foreword by the renowned feminist-activist and academic, Antonia Darder (Loyola Marymount University, USA).
